Replacing a user control with another one

[John]

Hi all,

How do I completely remove a dynamically-loaded user control and replace it
with another one?

Regards
John.

To remove the old control:

parentControl.Controls.Remove(ldControl) ' remove ONE control
from parent
OR
ParentControl.Controls.Clear ' Remove ALL
controls from parent

Then, to add the new control:
parentControl.Controls.add(o_NewControl) ' add to parent as the
Next sibling
OR
parentControl.Controls.AddAt(iIndexPosition, o_NewControl) ' add to
parent at a specific location


You could also not put ANY control in your HTML template, and just add the
correct control within the code-behind at run-time.

Hi John,

Just remove it from the control tree and add the new one, take a look at the
ControlCollection type
